A 42-year-old Bayonne man didn't get far when he attempted to walk away from a $6.25 taxi fare, police said.

The Kennedy Boulevard man hailed a Yellow Cab at the Walgreens' parking lot on Broadway and 32nd Street and was taken to a storage facility on New Hook Road, said Capt. Walter Rogers of the Bayonne Police. The cab driver told police the man had agreed to the $6.25 fare for the one-mile ride.

"When (the man) arrived at New Hook Road, he told the driver he didn't have any money," said Rogers. The man walked out of the cab without paying for the service and that is when the driver called the police."

Rogers said the Bayonne police told the man he had to pay the fare, get someone to pay for him or get arrested.

The man, who was charged with theft of services, told officers, "No one will come pay for me."

The Bayonne man was arrested without incident and transported to police headquarters, where he was processed and released on a summons.
